When the opponent arrived at Dollar-way's yellow brick buildings one steamy morning last week, carloads of whites lurked near by. Trouble never came: police had the place surrounded. John D. York was met by Board President Parham and the scho.ol superintendent, who escorted Delores to the first-grade class and a second-row seat. She spent the morning coloring clowns, apples and horses, played and lunched with her classmates. She came home happy. "I believe I'm going to like it there," she said gravely. "It's a nice big school and some...
...Massapoag mill on the outskirts of the little North Carolina court house town of Lincolnton (pop. 5,423) looks like many another small Southern textile mill from its brick exterior. But aside from tobacco-juice stains splashed liberally about on its floor inside, the plant of the Long Shoals Cotton Mills, Inc. (projected 1960 sales: $2,500,000) is different from any other in the nation. Its solid rows of pastel blue machines bear the stamp "0-M Spinning Machine, Osaka, Japan." Massapoag is the first mill in the U.S. to be completely fitted with Japanese-made spinning equipment. Standing...
Joining in the off-hours fun was the great U.S. men's track team.

Foreigners flocked to watch the workouts of another U.S. superstar: Boston University...

They vowed that they would not let the money go to their heads. They went right on living in their modest brick duplex in suburban Bondi and invested their new wealth. The only member of the Thorne family to get excited over the windfall was eight-year-old Graeme, a third-grader at a private school called Scots College...
Flunkees & Indians. The answer is a pudgy, cyclonic Presbyterian minister named Millard Roberts, 41, who had made an impressive record as fund raiser for Manhattan's Brick Presbyterian Church. Swirling in as president in 1955, he treated Parsons like a sick factory. To beef up sales, Roberts fanned fast-talking admissions men throughout the Midwest and the East. He freely discounted freshman fees and even more freely solicited flunkees from other colleges. He welcomed high school graduates in the bottom half of their classes, and took some who stood dead last. Almost anyone with...
